This is the ideal base from which to explore the delights of the region. Each walk is run by official walking guides who can show you the hidden gems of the area, and you will come away feeling like you’ve really seen and experienced the real, rural Andalucia.
Today we visit the Poqueira Gorge and walk through the mountain villages of Las Alpujarras – Pampaneira, Bubion and Capileira. From Capileira we follow the path to the River Poqueira, with breathtaking views across the gorge. In the afternoon we enjoy a tasting of the delicious local ham, Jambon de Trevelez, during a visit to a local producer. At dinner tonight we enjoy a performance of traditional Spanish music.

The delightful coastal resort of Nerja is perhaps most famous for the Nerja Caves, said to be some of the best in Europe, which boast fascinating ancient wall paintings and artefacts. We include a tour of the caves before visiting the town of Salobrena, which is dominated by a splendid Moorish castle and lush sugar cane plantations.
DAY 4 Orgiva
Spend the morning browsing among the varied stalls of Orgiva’s traditional weekly market. Just off the main street, you’ll also find the beautiful 16thcentury church, or if you fancy a break, there are plenty of welcoming cafes in which to relax. This afternoon we head to Soportujar and then trek through picturesque scenery to Lanjaron, enjoying stunning views of the Guadalfeo River. Tonight we enjoy a traditional Flamenco show at the hotel.
